LOG: [lldb] Fix GetExpressionPath for vector registers (#169210)

Vector registers have synthetic values for display purposes. This causes
SBValue::GetExpressionPath to dispatch
to ValueObjectSynthetic instead of ValueObjectRegister, producing
incorrect results.

Fixes #147144

Added: 
    lldb/test/API/python_api/exprpath_register/Makefile
    lldb/test/API/python_api/exprpath_register/TestExprPathRegisters.py
    lldb/test/API/python_api/exprpath_register/main.c

Modified: 
    lldb/include/lldb/ValueObject/ValueObjectSynthetic.h
    lldb/source/ValueObject/ValueObjectSynthetic.cpp

Removed:
